Listen to this articleWhen engaging in BDSM or any type of sexual exploration that involves power dynamics or physical restraint, it’s important to establish a safe word or phrase that can be used to communicate boundaries and ensure safety and consent.
A safe word is a word or phrase that is agreed upon by all parties involved and is used to indicate when one is approaching or has reached their limits. This allows for clear and immediate communication of boundaries and ensures that everyone involved feels safe and comfortable.
It’s important to choose a safe word that is easy to remember and unlikely to be confused with other words that may be used during sexual play. Some common safe words include “red” to indicate a full stop, “yellow” to indicate that the activity should slow down or change, and “green” to indicate that everything is okay.
Remember that the use of safe words should be respected and honored by all parties involved. If someone uses a safe word, immediately stop the activity and check in to ensure that everyone is okay.
Establishing and using safe words can enhance sexual exploration by allowing for clear communication and the establishment of boundaries. Don’t be afraid to incorporate safe words into your sexual play to ensure safety, respect, and consensual exploration.
